Writing in the Cold

Is This Serious? Why Are My Hands & Feet Always Cold?

I’ve just come in from writing outside, finishing another set of chapters for Ozias, Prince in Peril. It’s December 1 and my hands are cold, cold, cold! The book is going well, but at a price.

So now I’m under wifely orders not to do this anymore: write indoors, we don’t want you getting sick! I guess I’d better listen, eh?

One more chapter set ought to do it, although I don’t yet have any idea of a climax. Ozias, Prince Enthroned is next up, but that will have to wait till spring. If I can somehow finish this one before Christmas, I’ll rejoice. But I haven’t written any fiction indoors for years now, so this’ll be a challenge.

I can only pray my work will be fruitful in His service, Amen.

 

Stopped By The Weather

Well, it’s really cold today! Not expected to climb out of the 40s, and the sky just about completely overcast. The weather just has not played ball with me this year.

I don’t know how I’m going to write out there. Probably I can’t. Even if I tough it out, it’s now cold enough to stop the ink from coming out of the pen.

I hear crows, though. Something’s got them worked up. If I were Helki, I’d understand what they were saying. Just being me, I suspect it’s something like “C’mon out here, you sucker!”

All right, I’ll try. Let’s see how long I last.

[Well, I managed to write three pages before my hands got numb, and that’s three more than I thought I could.  Queen Parella is having more excitement than she bargained for.]

Workin’ in the Cold!

It’s sunny out today, but with a cold wind: I froze my onions off, working outside to write the latest chapter of Ozias, Prince in Peril. Still a boy, Ozias will have to grow up fast, what with the villains combing Lintum Forest for him, looking to take him out. I don’t know if I’ll have enough good weather to finish the book this year, but I promise you I’ll try as hard as I can.

I think the book is going very well. The story keeps surprising me. I know I don’t have to secure Ozias’ throne until the next book, but I don’t know how old he’ll be by the time that happens. I just count on the Lord to give me the story… which He already knows.
